Tiny Travels Alien pin up painting, Dragon Square 9, new ACEOs, + Zazzle fun!


Oh my gosh...

I am pretty much up to my eyeballs in sketches to be made into art. Too many ideas, not enough hands, table space, or time ahhh! Oh well, I suppose eventually I will get to them all :)

I do have a few brand new pieces to share today- a gorgeous, green skinned alien pin up, a new Dragon Square painting, and some new ACEO listings- both originals and prints. Plus, lots of new fun and awesome items up in my Zazzle shop!


Very proud to introduce to you all my latest pin up painting- "Tiny Travels". She is a lovely green skinned alien creature, dreaming up adventures and otherworldly magic (and yes, I do have a mild obsession with hot air balloons). Lots of color in this painting! The original piece measures 8" x 10" (acrylics on canvas panel)...you can see all the specs, more detail pictures, and purchase info at the link below her picture:

To see all the information, pics, and perhaps even place a bid ($15 to start), please visit the link below the picture:

Of course, there is the usual slew of assorted art for auction- ACEO prints for 99 cents, other original dragons, pin ups, and the like...you can see everything HERE if you please :)


Now...onto zazzle stuff! As you may or may not know, I have an ongoing love affair with Zazzle. I have recently received a T Shirt with my "Prep Monster" image on it, and it is deliciously comfortable! (you can get your very own one HERE!) At any rate, Zazzle is wonderful, and I've put up a TON of new items there recently! Everything from Zombie Ink Blot stickers to new sterling silver necklaces!

I've been in dragon mode lately...they all just flocked to my studio and took over, and there's really not a lot I can do about it...other than attempt to appease their reptilian egos with lovely portraits and lots of fruit smoothies. Yeah, they really like smoothies, I don't know why. I'm hoping they will eventually want to go play at the beach, or get called away on some mysterious dragon mission, so that I can get to cleaning this place up and back to work...

xo!

So, I've been working on some sketches that were a whim at first. Now they've grown into a "to be completed" series: a list of scribbled notes, some terrible 5 second sketches, and lots and lots of hemming and hawing on how much time to spend on them, as they are...personal...and I am pretty private with certain things. I guess. Sorry to be a tease. I'm sure I will figure it all out eventually. But I am also working on some other things; trying to keep the ball rolling with my "writing a comic once a week". Lots more dragons have been prancing around the studio lately. And some nude ladies. So...let there be art! Wait...I gotta make it first ha ha!

xo!

New ACEOs- Grave Robyn (nude), Alice/Wonderland, + a nymph, plus Website update + what Em's up to...


Well I managed to get a lot done today...surprisingly...

A handful of new ACEO auctions, (plus a TON of other auctions!), a website update, a few sketches, a bunch of art mailed, house cleaned (kind of, good enough), laundry washed, folded, put away...sweet!


Here's a new original ACEO- and I *LOVE* her! I almost did not list her...so if she gets no bids this round I will stash her in my personal collection. Just sayin'. I've titled this lovely brunette nude "Grave Robyn"...because I am a huge dork. This original 3.5" x 2.5" illustration is listed for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of only $5- to get all the info, more pics, and perhaps place a bid, visit the link below her picture:

I have censored her for the blog posts only, you can see the full version in the auction. ;)


Anyway...How about an Alice in Wonderland themed ACEO? Well, I have one up for auction on eBay right now (she starts at $5)- it's called "Glimpse of Wonderland". I love the way it turned out; when I first sketched her out, she was just a girl looking in the mirror. I didn't know it would turn out like this! But hey, you can have this piece in your collection, if you like, by visiting the link below and placing a bid:




"Glimpse of Wonderland" original ACEO illustration


One more ACEO for the night- this one is "Le Potion"... I don't think that is proper French, and I did not bother to check, either, and I really should know because I took 4 years of French...yeesh :| Anyway, this pretty little nymph is working some sort of magick...She's listed at a $5 starting bid on eBay- please see the link below for more info:




"Le Potion" original nymph fantasy ACEO illustration


And...A whole bunch of ACEO Prints starting at 99 cents, and a handful of original paintings and/or illustrations starting at $15~ please please help me clean out my studio! I need more room for awesome! LOL!



You can see everything that is currently listed right HERE!


Meow...I have *finally* updated my website, after a month and a half of slacking. Shame on me! Of course, the situation has been remedied for the moment, with a handful of new images (available as prints and posters) in my galleries! Check out the new:




Darkling Treasures official website- Updated!


Random zombie sidenote- I only have FIVE (5) Limited Edition 8" x 10" prints of "Procession to Breakfast" left. The edition runs to 25, and we are currently at #20, so...get one while you can! They're $16 in my zombietoes etsy shop:




"Procession to Breakfast" zombie silhouette limited edition prints- only 5 left ever!


So...I've been working on some new dragon squares (I have a hypnotist and an ice cream theme at bat...) and some other side project silliness...:D Trying to stay as weird as possible without going too far into crazy. It ain't easy, I tell you what...;)

xo!

New paintings- Short Circuit Circus/ Prep Monster, New ACEOs- fairy rock star + a mermaid! Plus, a decent ramble!


I was going to post this last night, but we got more crazy thunderstorms and I am a dork and don't like my computer on when it's like that...so I am posting now! :D
I've got two new paintings to share, plus a few brand new ACEO originals, along with a BUNCH of art auctions on eBay...


The first new painting is titled "Prep Monster"- she is a sort of self portrait, I suppose, of me at my day job...or how I wish I could be...or something. She is listed in my darklingemily etsy shop; there's a blurb written up for the painting, to give a feel of what was going through my mind when I came up with the concept for this piece. She is an original 11" x 14" acrylic painting (on canvas panel, wire hanger on the back)...Please do visit the link below her picture for all the info!

Some of you may have already seen this next new painting, as I listed her last week, but have not posted about her until now..."Short Circuit Circus" is a *really* weird piece, but I adore her just the same. It is summertime, so I am all circus-y in my head, and with all the storms lately, this is what my brain came up with...it's on the dark side, for sure, but only in a "get the crap outta there NOW" ominous kind of way ;) She is also listed for purchase in my darklingemily etsy shop; please visit the link below her picture for more details and information:




"Short Circuit Circus" original dark fantasy art painting


Onto the new ACEOs! Two brand new original illustrations, both up for auction on eBay with $5 starting bids: "Wishing Pond"- a lovely art nouveau-y mermaid ACEO, and "Noise"- a rock star fairy! (Who's a big dork? ME!) You can see the listings and even place bids if you want, at the links below the pictures:




"Wishing Pond" original mermaid ACEO fantasy illustration




"Noise" original fairy rock star ACEO fantasy illustration


Do note the freakin' TON of original paintings, illustrations,and assorted ACEO prints are also up for auction on eBay...Some fantasy, some pin up, even a few zombies thrown in...to see everything currently up for auction, just click HERE!


I am planning on going out of town later this summer, and I need to make sure everything is in order before I go...so...please help me on my mission to accomplish this, and get some art you really love, all at the same time! I also still need room on my studio walls, so *really* if there is something you see that you would like to own, do not be afraid to bid! I am trying to put everything up at the lowest possible prices, which is kind of a nono, but ta hell with it. I can always make more, I AM making more, there's too much ahhhh!! LOL! sorry for the self justification. As a last resort, I can always huffily throw my hands in the air and say to myself "I am an artist, I can do whatever I want!" Which is just terrible. *eyeroll*


That's where I'm at. Working on a few commission pieces, then onto a new painting!

xo!

Seahorse Mermaid ACEO original, a TON of auctions, rambling, and work in progress pictures!


Awww, man, we just had a CRAZY storm here!

I have seen storms of the like before, but never up here...Tornadoes and hail and green and yellow skies and such...madness! The cat and I just hung out and watched it all. I figured if all hell broke loose, the bathtub was not too far away...Sadly, I do not have a basement where I'm at.


Anyway...I only have one new original piece to share at the moment...But I have a TON of eBay auctions running...Plus a bunch of new postcard prints in my Zazzle shop, and work in progress pictures of the latest painting!


The new original is an ACEO illustration- "Red Coral" is FULL of candy colored fun! A seahorse mermaid and two little friends are happy to hang out together in saturated rainbow hues! This original ACEO (3.5" x 2.5") is listed for auction on eBay, with a starting bid of just $5! To see the listing, and perhaps even place a bid for this beauty, just visit the link below the picture:




"Red Coral" original seahorse mermaid ACEO illustration


In addition to "Red Coral", I have a few older originals listed- my "Forest in the Sky" nymph painting, and "Fresh Fig" original nude jester illustration! I will be listing more of the original jester pin up pieces that I have over the summer...Just a heads up for those of you who especially love those. To see everything I have for auction right now, please check out the link below:


Emily's art auctions on eBay- art from 99 cents up!


So...Work in progress pics! They are HERE in my Facebook album. The latest piece can be found by scrolling to the bottom of the page. She is titled "Short Circuit Circus"...and I am *madly in love* with her. I found myself shaking my head today, saying that I wish I could live in my head. Then I realized that I DO live in my head. I guess love can make one a little stupid. :) But...she is nearly complete now, just a few details with the little teeny tiny brush, and she is all ready! Of course, it is way too dark to take photos now, so I will have to wait to list her :(


Okay...I have been working a little bigger lately, and I realize that I have *very little* wall space at the moment, so expect to see a lot of originals up for auction! I thought that I had something entertaining to ramble on about, but really I don't. Lame. Well, I think I may turn in early tonight, but first, off to get those details done on "Short Circuit Circus".

xo!
